Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a welding deformation prediction method, in particular to a welding deformation prediction method for a welding structure based on equivalent load. Background Art

[0002] Aerospace structural parts are large in size and difficult to manufacture in one go, so they are often assembled by welding. Large welded structures have weak rigidity, and local thermal shrinkage during the welding process directly causes complex deformations such as bending and warping of the entire structure, which seriously affects the dimensional accuracy and service life of aerospace products. Therefore, rapid and accurate prediction of welding deformation is of great significance for achieving efficient and high-precision manufacturing of large welded assemblies.

[0003] There are already relevant technologies for predicting welding deformation in the prior art. For example, the Chinese patent (application number: 202310192522.5) "A method for predicting deformation of plate seam welding based on inherent strain method" simulates the welding process of plates of different thicknesses and establishes a correlation between plate thickness and welding inherent strain, thereby realizing rapid prediction of welding deformation.

[0004] The current problem is:

[0005] Traditional thermoelastic-plastic simulation methods take a long time to calculate, and the simulation time cost for large structures increases exponentially, which is not conducive to the efficient prediction and precise control of welding deformation. For example, the previously mentioned "A plate seam welding deformation prediction method based on the inherent strain method" requires a large amount of inherent strain simulation data to be obtained in advance, and the influence of welding process parameters on inherent strain cannot be considered, so the application scenarios are limited.

The welding deformation prediction method can realize the welding deformation prediction of the welding structure, especially for large-scale welding structures, and can effectively improve the welding deformation prediction efficiency.

[0054] It should be noted that the large welded structure refers to a welded structure with a length or width exceeding 1 meter, and such large welded structures are usually used as load-bearing structural parts of aerospace products, such as fuselage structures, rocket fuel tanks, etc. The welding deformation prediction method of this embodiment is particularly suitable for large welded structures with a length-to-thickness ratio or a width-to-thickness ratio greater than 10.

[0055] For the convenience of accurate description, in this article, the "welded structure that is the object of the welding deformation prediction method" is referred to as the "target welded structure".

[0056] In this embodiment, the object welding structure is constructed by welding using a stir friction welding method.

[0057] See also Figure 1 , the welding deformation prediction method of this embodiment includes steps S1 to S5.

[0058] S1, for the target welded structure, a finite element model of a small-sized welded structure is constructed.

[0059] Specifically, the finite element model is established according to the geometric dimensions and welding process parameters of the target welding structure.

[0060] It should be noted that the small-size welding structure refers to a welding structure that is identical to a small part of the target welding structure, which is representative to a certain extent and can represent the overall welding performance of the target welding structure.

[0061] In this embodiment, the thickness of the small-sized welding structure is consistent with the object welding structure, and the length and width of the small-sized welding structure are determined according to the thickness of the small-sized welding structure.

[0062] Specifically,

[0063] The "length of the small-sized welded structure" is set to be more than 20 times the "thickness of the small-sized welded structure", that is, the "thickness of the small-sized welded structure" is "less than 1 / 20 of the length of the small-sized welded structure";

[0064] The “width of the small-size welded structure” is set to be more than 15 times the “thickness of the small-size welded structure”, that is, the “thickness of the small-size welded structure” is “less than 1 / 15 of the width of the small-size welded structure”.

[0065] It should be noted that the establishment of the finite element model includes finite element meshing, material property setting, boundary condition setting, analysis step setting and heat source model application.

[0072] The analysis step is a temperature-displacement coupling analysis step;

[0073] The heat source model adopts a heat source model that matches the actual welding method.

[0074] For the convenience of description, the constructed “finite element model of small-size welding structure” will be referred to as the “finite element model of the research object”.

[0075] It should be noted that

[0076] The “geometric dimensions of the subject welded structure” mentioned above include the length, width and thickness of the subject welded structure;

[0077] The aforementioned “welding process parameters of the target welding structure” include welding method, welding heat input, welding feed speed and welding rotation speed.

[0078] S2, carrying out a thermoelastic-plastic simulation on the finite element model of the research object constructed in step S1, so as to extract the inherent strain data of the cross section of the weld in the steady-state region in the finite element model of the research object.

[0079] In this embodiment, the inherent strain data of the cross-section of the steady-state area of ​​the weld remains stable, that is, it does not fluctuate significantly with time or welding direction coordinates; "the distance between the steady-state area of ​​the weld and the starting point of the weld" and "the distance between the steady-state area of ​​the weld and the ending point of the weld" are both at least 100 mm.

[0080] The inherent strain data includes a transverse inherent strain component and a longitudinal inherent strain component, wherein:

[0081] The transverse inherent strain component is in the direction parallel to the workpiece surface and perpendicular to the direction of the weld.

[0082] The longitudinal inherent strain component is in the direction parallel to the weld line.

[0083] S3, based on the "inherent strain data of the cross section of the weld in the steady-state area in the finite element model of the research object" obtained in step S2, the transverse equivalent distributed bending moment and the longitudinal equivalent concentrated bending moment of the weld are calculated.

[0084] The transverse equivalent distributed bending moment is obtained by integrating the transverse inherent strain component, and the longitudinal equivalent concentrated bending moment is obtained by integrating the longitudinal inherent strain component.

[0085] Specifically,

[0086] The calculation formula of the transverse equivalent distributed bending moment is:

[0087]

[0088] In the formula, m x is the equivalent distributed bending moment in the transverse direction, E is the elastic modulus, is the transverse inherent strain component, z is the spatial coordinate perpendicular to the workpiece surface, h is the workpiece thickness, and A is the cross-sectional area of ​​the weld.

[0089] The calculation formula of the longitudinal equivalent concentrated bending moment is:

[0090]

[0091] Among them, M y is the longitudinal equivalent concentrated bending moment, is the longitudinal intrinsic strain component.

[0092] It should be noted that

[0093] The transverse equivalent distributed bending moment comprises a pair of distributed bending moments of equal value and opposite direction, acting at the boundary of the weld width;

[0094] The longitudinal equivalent concentrated bending moment includes a pair of concentrated bending moments of equal value and opposite direction, acting at the starting point and the ending point of the weld.

[0095] S4, applying the transverse equivalent distributed bending moment and the longitudinal equivalent concentrated bending moment obtained in step S3 to the target welded structure, and then establishing a model control equation and boundary conditions for the target welded structure based on plate deformation theory.

[0096] In this embodiment,

[0097] The plate deformation theory adopts Kirchhoff thin plate deformation theory;

[0098] The expression of the control equation of the model is:

[0099]

[0100] Where w is the deformation solution of the target welded structure, x is the transverse coordinate, y is the longitudinal coordinate, ν is the Poisson's ratio, and D = Eh 3 / 12(1-ν) is the bending stiffness, δ x1 , δ x2 , δ y1 , δ y2 is the Dirac function that characterizes the position of the equivalent load;

[0101] The boundary condition expression is:

[0102]

[0103] Wherein, a is the width of the target welding structure, and b is the length of the target welding structure.

[0104] S5, based on the generalized work equivalence theorem, the deformation solution of the object welded structure is indirectly derived through the deformation solution of the virtual plate model.

[0105] It should be noted that

[0106] The virtual plate model is a Kirchhoff plate model subject to simple loads and simple constraints, and its geometric dimensions and material parameters are the same as those of the object welding structure;

[0107] The simple loads include unit force loads and uniform pressure loads;

[0108] The simple constraints include four-side fixed constraints and four-side simply supported constraints.

[0109] It should be noted that

[0110] The generalized work reciprocity theorem is applicable to two different linear elastic bodies with different loads, different static boundary conditions and different displacement boundary conditions;

[0111] For the two different linear elastic bodies, by applying the generalized work equivalence theorem between the former and the latter, the deformation solution of the latter can be indirectly derived based on the deformation solution of the former.

[0112] Based on the generalized work equivalence theorem, the deformation solution of the object welded structure can be derived from the deformation solution of the virtual plate model, and its expression is:

[0113]

[0114] Among them, w0 is the deformation solution of the virtual plate model.

[0115] The welding deformation prediction method of this embodiment has the following main advantages:

[0116] In the welding deformation prediction method of this embodiment, the characteristic that the small-sized welding structure and the object welding structure have the same inherent strain in the cross-section in the steady-state area is utilized. According to the thermoelastic-plastic simulation of the small-sized welding structure, the transverse equivalent distributed bending moment and the longitudinal equivalent concentrated bending moment of the weld area of ​​the object welding structure are obtained, and the analytical solution of the welding deformation is realized, which greatly improves the welding deformation prediction efficiency of the welding structure.

[0117] Specifically, in the welding deformation prediction method of the present embodiment, the inherent strain data of the object welding structure is indirectly obtained through the thermo-elastoplastic simulation of the small-size welding structure, which simplifies the method of obtaining the inherent strain and ensures the calculation accuracy of the inherent strain; the inherent strain component is equivalent to the corresponding bending moment load, and the complex welding deformation problem is converted into a plate deformation problem with a mechanical theory solution; by using the generalized work equivalence theorem, a virtual plate model with simple loads and simple constraints is established to indirectly derive the complex deformation solution of the object welding structure, thereby achieving rapid and accurate prediction of welding deformation, which is particularly effective in improving the efficiency of large welding structures.

[0118] A practical example is provided below. In this example, the welding deformation prediction method of the present invention is used to predict the welding deformation of a large welded structure.

[0119] See also Figures 1 to 6 ,

[0120] (Corresponding to step S1) establishing a finite element model of a small-sized welded structure (i.e., a research object finite element model) according to the geometric dimensions and welding process parameters of the large-sized welded structure (i.e., the research object finite element model);

[0121] The material of the large welded structure is aluminum alloy 2024-T351, with geometric dimensions of 1000×150×18mm, 1000×450×18mm, and 1000×600×18mm (length×width×thickness). The welding method is stir friction welding, the stir head shoulder diameter is 32mm, the shaft pin diameter and length are 10mm and 17.5mm respectively. The welding feed speed is 100mm / min, and the welding speed is 300rpm.

[0122] The finite element model of a small-sized welded structure is established in Abaqus software. The material is aluminum alloy 2024-T351, and the geometric dimensions are 400×150×18mm. The welding heat source of friction stir welding is defined by the user subroutine DFLUX, including a surface heat source and a cylindrical heat source.

[0123] The finite element model of the small-sized welded structure (i.e., the finite element model of the research object) is meshed using the eight-node three-dimensional solid element C3D8T. The element size in the center area of ​​the weld is small, and the element size away from the weld area is appropriately enlarged. The mechanical performance parameters and thermophysical performance parameters are assigned to the finite element model of the small-sized welded structure, including elastic modulus, Poisson's ratio, yield stress, thermal conductivity, thermal expansion coefficient, density, and specific heat. Displacement constraints in three directions are applied to the bottom surface of the model to simulate the constraints of the pad and the fixture.

[0124] (corresponding to step S2) performing a thermoelastic-plastic simulation of a finite element model of a small-size welded structure to extract inherent strain data of a cross section of a weld in a steady-state region;

[0125] The temperature-displacement coupling analysis step is used to perform welding thermoelastic-plastic analysis on the finite element model of the small-sized welded structure, including the welding and cooling stages. After the cooling stage, the transverse inherent strain component and the longitudinal inherent strain component on the central cross section of the finite element model of the small-sized welded structure are extracted.

[0126] (corresponding to step S3) calculating the transverse equivalent distributed bending moment and the longitudinal equivalent concentrated bending moment of the weld based on the inherent strain of the finite element model of the small-size welded structure;

[0127] The transverse equivalent distributed bending moment is calculated by integrating the transverse natural strain component on the central cross section:

[0128]

[0129] Among them, m x is the equivalent distributed bending moment in the transverse direction, E is the elastic modulus, is the transverse inherent strain component, z is the spatial coordinate perpendicular to the workpiece surface, h is the workpiece thickness, and A is the cross-sectional area of ​​the weld.

[0130] The longitudinal inherent strain component on the central cross section is integrated to calculate the longitudinal equivalent concentrated bending moment:

[0131]

[0132] Among them, M y is the longitudinal equivalent distributed bending moment, is the longitudinal intrinsic strain component.

[0133] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 The transverse equivalent distributed bending moment includes a pair of distributed bending moments with equal values ​​and opposite directions, acting at the width boundary of the weld. The longitudinal equivalent concentrated bending moment includes a pair of concentrated bending moments with equal values ​​and opposite directions, acting at the starting and ending points of the weld.

[0134] (corresponding to step S4) applying equivalent bending moment to the large welded structure, and establishing model control equations and boundary conditions based on plate deformation theory;

[0135] See also Figure 4 The large welded structure is equivalent to a Kirchhoff plate model subject to transverse distributed bending moment and longitudinal concentrated bending moment. In order to minimize the influence of boundary constraints on the deformation results, the boundary conditions of four corner points are adopted.

[0136] The expressions of simply supported boundary conditions at the four corner points are:

[0137]

[0138] Where w is the deformation solution of the large welded structure, x is the transverse coordinate, y is the longitudinal coordinate, a and b are the width and length of the large welded structure respectively, and D = Eh 3 / 12(1-ν) is the bending stiffness and ν is the Poisson's ratio.

[0139] (Corresponding to step S5) Based on the generalized work equivalence theorem, the deformation solution of the large welded structure is indirectly derived through the deformation solution of the virtual plate model.

[0140] The generalized work equivalence theorem states that for two linear elastic bodies with different loads, different static boundary conditions, and different displacement boundary conditions, the work done by the former load on the latter displacement is equal to the work done by the latter load on the former displacement.

[0141] Based on the generalized work reciprocity theorem, the deformation solution of the large welded structure can be indirectly derived from the deformation solution of the virtual plate model. Figure 5 ,The virtual plate model adopts the Kirchhoff plate model subject to unit force load and four sides simply supported, and its geometric dimensions and material parameters are the same as the large welded structure.

[0142] The governing equations of the virtual plate model are:

[0143]

[0144] Among them, w0 is the deformation solution of the virtual plate model, δ is the Dirac function, and ξ and η are the position coordinates of the unit force load.

[0145] The boundary conditions of the virtual plate model are:

[0146]

[0147] By expanding the Dirac function and the deformation solution into a double trigonometric series and substituting them into the control equations and boundary equations of the virtual plate model, the deformation solution of the virtual plate model can be obtained:

[0148]

[0149] in, α m =mπ / a,β n =nπ / b.

[0150] By applying the generalized work equivalence theorem between the large welded structure and the virtual plate model, the deformation solution of the large welded structure can be obtained, which is expressed as:

[0151]

[0152] Among them, Q x and Q y is the shear force on the virtual plate model at the boundary, which can be calculated by the following formula:

[0153]

[0154] See also Figure 6 , the figure shows the deformation solution of the large welded structure.

[0155] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
